Sandtown Habitat Update through Aug.2nd

The progress on the home at 1442 Mount Street look more negative than positive sometimes! This was the case on August 2nd. There was a demolition company working on tearing down the front of the three active homes on Mount Street, while we were inside trying to do odd framing jobs (that seemed to take longer than anyone expected.

You can see, sometimes you have to step backwards before you step forwards. Good things are still happening, but the schedule is being pushed a little.

Over the next couple of weeks, framing will be done for the front wall as well as the early framing on the back "bump out" for the house.

Our priotity is still to get a roof on ASAP. With a roof, a new front wall, and the framing of the bump out, the progress can really be accelerated with the "trades" coming in and doing the masonry, electrical and plumbing rough ins.

Meet the owner of our house. Reggie (middle), his son Andre (left) have been regular and hard working contributors the past couple of months. They are great people and we look forward to getting them into this house before Christmas!
